A pano from my studio as of today. The tower like object highlighted on the electronics workstation is the “singing bowl” prototype nearing completion. More documentation will follow. Today, while talking with Mollie, CAC ed director, she made a reference to the floor in the woodworking shop about not losing the beauty of the marks as the center makes upgrades to the space into a makerspace — archeological marks left behind from many years of creative use.

Our next project will be to modify the Filbert Street Community Garden cargo crate donated by CSX making it fit with the “decor” of the garden. Check out the blog associated with the garden when you get a chance. We will be collaborating with UMBC, BFHS students and community stakeholders on the project.
